Why Do Communities Need Rules?

by Martha E. H. Rustad

Overview

No matter their size, all communities need rules to keep their members safe, healthy, and happy. A question-answer format and kid-friendly photos show how both written rules (e.g., traffic laws) and unwritten rules (e.g., character values such as honesty) help communities grow and thrive. A simple activity promotes active community participation.
